GPGee - GnuPG Explorer Extension... I use this one frequently.. it's a front-end for GPG that gives you the ability to sign and encrypt by right clicking on the file. This makes the functionality similar to PGP... (http://gpgee.excelcia.org/)

PGP -- It's not free... in fact sometimes it's rather costly but at the Enterprise level it is King... especially with it's Exchange Integration.. (www.pgp.com)

Cryptainer LE -- Free Software but limited... You are limited to 25MB Containers unless you buy the full version.. If that's fine with you then it's all good... This one is unique because of how it works.. It creates container files... your files are stored there... Now comes the interesting part.. Your container file is mounted as a Removeable Disk.. You enter the password to mount it and then when you 'eject' it... you need the password to remount it and access the files... You can also create self extracting executables to send by email... It contains an inconspicuous little add for their full version but it doesn't hinder you in the least. (http://www.cypherix.co.uk/cryptainerle/?sc_w2ks)

One last one that I wanted to add, for those that want email encryption without the high price of pgp..

CiphireMail -- Free -- Works with Linux, Windows and OS X provides in client mail encryption for several email clients... It also works quite nicely (https://www.ciphire.com/)

Either way, any of these pieces of software is a great little tool to have around.

Peace,
